I have been playing with my SR325e today and one thing remains the same with these as compared to the older 325is. It is their ability to reveal any and all recordings that are not of the highest quality.
 
 
"Spiro came and made a speech about raising the Mars tax!"  Name the song that comes from and who was Spiro?

So…..at the Nashville Headphone meet yesterday I purchased a Marantz  HD DAC 1. I am loving this amp with the Grado's, they have never sounded so good. It is the most analog sounding amp I have heard with my Grado's. My GS1000i and PS1000 haven't sounded better and the fact that it has a dac built in makes it even better. If you are a hyper detail person you might not like it but after letting my ears adjust the music is just flowing. I have gone through 5 cd's and have had no fatigue whatsoever and the best part is I haven't been thinking about how much better it might sound if I add this cable or if I change this DAC or maybe I should try this amp, etc.... If you like an analog sound I recommend this amp, there is absolutely no digital glare. For me it is always about the music and if you can forget about the gear and get lost in the music that is where I want to be….Shout out to @jmsaxon69 for a great deal on this amp. He is a great guy and I will definitely do business with him again. Maybe when my wallet has something in it again

congrats on the Marantz! good to here it's pairing well with the Gs1ki and ps1k. I would sure like to see some pictures of that little beauty and your Grados in action!
 
 
@jaywillin, hope you are feeling better, if you were feeling under the weather for y'all's meet.
BTW, I made the mistake of checking Amazon for the HD650 deal. Yup, you guess it, it came up for that price we discussed in the pm so without even flinching, my finger pulled the trigger!

I've had 3 or 4 HD650 in the past, but never had a setup like I do now, and heck, i haven't even heard one in a couple of years, so I'm looking forward to hearing them!

Here ya go @wormsdriver ……sorry for the crappy quality but all I had was my phone to take pics. It really is a nice piece of equipment.
